Assisted Reproduction

The funding for assisted reproduction in Berlin supports couples with unfulfilled desires to have children in financing medically recommended reproductive medical measures such as in vitro fertilization. The grant is administered by the Senate Department for Science, Health, Care and Equality and implemented by the State Office for Health and Social Affairs (LaGeSo) Berlin. Eligibility for funding applies to private individuals residing in Berlin who can provide a medical certificate proving a medical indication for assisted reproduction and an unfulfilled desire to have children. The funds are granted in the form of a direct subsidy and can be applied for continuously, allowing flexible planning of treatment steps.

Only costs for reproductive medical treatments are funded, with applications submitted via a standardized application form. Together with the medical certificate and proof of residence in Berlin, these documents must be submitted to LaGeSo. The measure is aimed at couples wishing to realize parenthood through a specialist-recommended reproductive treatment. Thanks to the continuous funding option, application dates can be scheduled individually and waiting times minimized. Interested couples receive comprehensive information on funding requirements and application formalities directly from the responsible state office to timely submit all necessary documentation and secure financial support for their fertility treatment.
